Abstract: The OSERS Peer Reviewer Data Form (OPRDF) is used by OSERS staff to identify potential reviewers who would be qualified to review specific types of grant applications for funding; to provide background contact information for each potential reviewer; and to provide information on any reasonable accommodations that might be required by the individual. The previous version of the OPRDF, 1820-0583, expired on September 30, 2017. The revised version of the OSERS Peer Data Form included in this information collection request contains additional questions to better match field experts with the review of OSERS funding opportunities. There are also additional questions aimed to better meet the needs of peer reviewers who require reasonable accommodations.

Short Statement: The revised version of the OSERS Peer Data Form included in this information collection request contains additional questions to better match field experts with the review of OSERS funding opportunities. There are also additional questions aimed to better meet the needs of peer reviewers who require reasonable accommodations. The revised submission also captures a reduction in the number of respondents and burden hours and costs due to the transition of National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2015 and the end of OSERS discretionary grant logistics contract. This is a reinstatement with change; the burden to the respondents annually would be approximately 250 hours. This estimate is based on each 1500 of respondents annually spending 15 minutes to complete the form. This represents a decrease in 300 responses and 200 burden hours. There are no costs associated with this collection.
